Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

Lu Jifeng turned his head and saw that he had caught Princess Xihai in his haste.He hurriedly looked towards the opposite hill, the petite and slender figure in white clothes held in the hands of the fierce and tall Tan Wuzhen was Tuobaxue. Tuobaxue didn't move, and was caught in Tan Wuchen's hands in a daze.Tan Wuzhen was rather nervous, saying: "Lu Jifeng! Don't hurt her!" This sentence should have been said by Lu Jifeng, and Lu Jifeng naturally knew what Tan Wuzhen was afraid of. If Princess Xihai died, Tan Wuchen would never be able to regain his power for the rest of his life.

Lu Jifeng said to Princess Xihai: "It's worth exchanging your life for Tan Wuzhen." Princess Xihai's complexion changed, and she said, "What do you mean by that? I'm your companion!" Lu Jifeng said: "What companion! I know all about your dealings with Tan Wuchen! Did you tip off the news and let him know about my life in Shanshan?" Princess Xihai said in amazement, "What did you say?" Lu Jifeng said: "Otherwise, how could Tan Wuzhen come here and calmly manipulate Shanshan King to set up a scheme to kill me?" After hearing this, Princess Xihai said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

She pushed Lu Jifeng away, waved her hand, and slapped Lu Jifeng's face with a "slap". Don't say that Lu Jifeng was stunned by himself, even the Tanwu prophecy to the mountain, the kings of the nine countries, and the courtiers at the foot of the mountain were all dumbfounded. Princess Xihai blushed with anger, grabbed Lu Jifeng's collar and said, "Did you get crushed by stones underground, or were you stunned by sand? Why should I tell Tan Wuchen your whereabouts?" Although Princess Xihai is restrained, she still acts domineeringly, and she is not afraid of Lu Jifeng at all.Lu Jifeng pulled her hand away and shouted: "Just answer my question!"

Princess Xihai got angry and said, "Okay, I'm the one who colluded with Tan Wuzhen to kill you idiot, how about it? You kill me!" Seeing Lu Jifeng arguing with Princess Xihai, Tan Wuzhen in the distance was afraid that Lu Jifeng would kill Princess Xihai in a fit of anger, and then he would no longer be able to be a man. It doesn't matter!" Lu Jifeng said: "How did you find Shanshan?" Tan Wuchen snorted, and said: "Your whereabouts are not a secret at all. How could I not know that you broke the Black Spirit City, which I set up in the desert, and set off a sandstorm?"

"You set up the Black Spirit City?" Lu Jifeng was astonished. Tan Wuzhen laughed and said: "The little tricks are just some phantoms, and they almost trapped you! You can escape the trap, which surprises me!" Thinking of being fascinated by demons in Hei Ling City, Lu Jifeng felt ashamed, if not for Tuobaxue's hairband, he would not have brought him back to reality.But at this moment, Tuoba Xue stood beside Tan Wuchen, neither resisting nor speaking, like a lifeless doll, which really puzzled Lu Jifeng. Tan Wuchen said coldly: "You fell down the tunnel, I searched for it, and I also went down the waterway. I wanted to end your life, but who knew that a monster would be drawn out, so you don't have to bother me."

It turned out that someone really attacked him in the underground waterway, and it wasn't Lu Jifeng's illusion.And Lu Jifeng himself didn't expect that Tan Wuzhen was following behind him, and the danger of this waterway turned out to be more terrifying than what he had seen before. And there is no need to ask about the future situation. It must be that Tan Wuchen followed them out of the altar and saw the characters of the Nine Kingdoms on the wall, so he found out who besieged and killed him back then.Perhaps on the first night when Lu Jifeng, Princess Xihai and others stayed in Shanshan, Tan Wuzhen had already sneaked into the Shanshan Palace, restrained the Shanshan King, and forced him to pretend to serve Lu Jifeng and others on the surface, but secretly laid a net of heaven and earth, He wanted to bury Lu Jifeng alive in the ground.

Needless to say, Lu Jifeng could guess these processes. Lu Jifeng said to Princess Xihai: "Even if the change happened suddenly, you pretended to deal with Tan Wuzhen in order to save your life, but you don't have to be so cruel and poison the residents of Shanshan to avenge Tan Wuzhen!" Princess Xihai took a deep breath and said, "You think I did it?" "You are the poisonous woman who is the best at using poison. Even Tan Wuzhen is afraid of you. Who else is there?" Princess Xihai glared at him, and said: "Love can make a vicious woman gentle, and likewise, it can make a gentle woman vicious. You are a man who makes a kind girl evil!"

Lu Jifeng didn't understand for a while, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Princess Xihai said: "Idiot! Don't you understand? The person who poisoned me is not me, but Xiaoxue!" Lu Jifeng didn't believe it at all, and said, "Xiaoxue can't do such a thing!" Princess Xihai said: "That's her! That girl stole my gentleman style and poured it all into the water source of Shanshan City to avenge you!" "What... what?" Princess Xihai said: "When she saw Tan Wuzhen, she was frightened to death. When she heard that you were dead, she acted like crazy. She forced to ask King Shanshan, and rushed to the place where you were in trouble. She saw the whole ground subsidence. , and burned the black water that would catch fire, and the ground was scorched, and she came back in a daze. I was afraid that she would seek death and life, but who knew...she actually stole my gentleman style and poisoned the whole city for you Revenge! If I hadn't told her that you didn't die so easily, do you think she would live to this day?"

Lu Jifeng was stunned and said nothing, "Love will make a vicious woman gentle, and it will also make a gentle woman vicious"... For him, Tuobaxue did something as vicious as Wu Xuanji. Lu Jifeng looked at Tan Wuzhen and Tuobaxue on the opposite mountain, feeling heavy and bitter in his chest for a moment. Lu Jifeng originally only had pity for Tuobaxue, but he didn't expect her to have such deep affection for him. Tan Wuzhen's voice came from the opposite side again, saying: "Lu Jifeng! If you don't hand over Princess Xihai again, don't blame me for killing again!"

He saw Lu Jifeng and Princess Xihai talking about something, Lu Jifeng's face was cloudy, it seemed that he might kill Princess Xihai at any time, and he was very anxious.Unexpectedly, Lu Jifeng suddenly grabbed Princess Xihai and pushed her down the mountain!Princess Xihai's body plummeted down like a falling rock. Tan Wuzhen was shocked, and hurriedly jumped down the hill, trying to catch Princess Xihai in time. He arrived first, and before Princess Xihai landed, he landed below her, raised his hand to grab her, supported Princess Xihai, and landed firmly. Looking up, Lu Jifeng and Tuobaxue on the mountain had disappeared.

Tan Wuzhen knew that this was the most obvious way to divert the tiger away from the mountain, but he didn't care, as long as Princess Xihai was in his hand, he would feel at ease.But he was not without a bit of contempt in his heart, unexpectedly Lu Jifeng didn't dare to fight him decisively, instead he ran away. Tan Wuzhen laughed loudly, and said, "Lu Jifeng! You are very sensible, and you know that saving your life is the first priority!" The Shanshan King at the foot of the mountain was even more terrified. Lu Jifeng appeared and stopped the falling rocks with his miraculous palm power. When he counterattacked, he thought that Lu Jifeng would save them and help kill Tan Wuchen. How could he expect Lu Jifeng to save Tuoba Xue after , Just leave like this, regardless of their life or death. The remaining Nine Kingdoms Royal Forest Army, apart from having a large number of people, is there any other chance of winning against Tan Wuchen? As soon as Tan Wuzhen landed, the kings of the nine kingdoms ran and fled one after another, ordering the guards in various languages: "Surround him!" "Shoot him!" "Hurry up, hurry up!" Although the nine kingdoms each had their own command, the chaos was extremely chaotic, and the escort teams of the nine kings all stepped forward to confront Tan Wuzhi. Looking around, they were also densely packed with thousands of troops. Facing such a battle, in the eyes of Tan Wuzheng, he is just an ant who allows him to kill. The rain of arrows shot continuously, and Tan Wuzhen yelled angrily, and flew into the formation, waved it casually, and the sharp arrows were pushed aside, like straw, which could not stop Tan Wuzhen's rush.Tan Wuzhen didn't pay attention to the battle of the Imperial Forest Army of the Nine Kingdoms at all, and only wanted to kill them wantonly to avenge their past. In the rain of arrows, the flying black cloak was like a raging dark cloud, directly attacking the formation, pressing towards the king of the Nine Kingdoms, he was already in the formation in the blink of an eye, the archers in the front line retreated behind the shields, and the swordsmen All the weapons came out, and they swung towards Tan Wuchen.Tan Wu's prophecy spoke loudly, swung the cloak swiftly, swept away the frosty air from the corner of the clothes, and saw a waterfall of blood! The hem of Tan Wuzhen's cloak was originally decorated with exquisitely engraved sharp blades, coupled with his strength and true energy, the power of the places he swung was even more astonishing.No one knew how he was invincible, everyone saw that the people who approached him spurted blood and flew away in an instant, while Tan Wuzhen was holding Princess Xihai without even making a move. The first thing is to cut in half, this terrible scene makes people frightened, Tan Wuzheng is like a god of death, laughing wildly, risking blood to go straight to the last imperial chariot.And the nine imperial chariots were also ready to flee, and the gorgeous embroidery and tassels on the chariots trembled uncomfortably. The sound of the sword being swung and clang, the shouting and shouting of blood and limbs flying, all stopped in an instant. A cold sword has met Tan Wuzhen's throat. In the chaotic army, Lu Jifeng had already stood calmly in the crowd, and the sword in his hand had long been waiting for nothing to happen. Tan Wuzhen, who was completely unprepared, only had time to see Lu Jifeng's cold eyes. His head has flown out! Lu Jifeng swung his sword, the blade cut off Tan Wuzhen's neck, and that magnificent body rushed forward dozens of feet before falling forward. Only then did everyone see clearly that Tan Wuzhen's fallen body had no head. Between Lu Jifeng and Tan Wuzhen, on a large desert that was left empty, at one end stood Lu Jifeng with a horizontal sword, and at the other end was the lying black giant body, which was dotted with a few spots of Tan Wuzhen's blood.The soldiers surrounding the perimeter were still dumbfounded, and no one figured out what happened. It wasn't until Lu Jifeng held Tan Wuzhen's head and lifted it up high that the crowd let out a loud cry, whether it was celebration or shock. Tan Wuchen's body was lifted up by the crowd, and together with Lu Jifeng, was pushed to the front of the King of the Nine Kingdoms. Kings Shanshan, Wusun, Kepantuo, Yueban, Qiuci, Shule, Yanqi, Cheshi, and Lichi were hiding behind the army. No one saw what happened. He hurriedly got the news from the front team and told the king; Tan Wuzhen had already been punished. The kings looked at Lu Jifeng who was pushed to the front, he was still holding the unexplainable head in his hand.King Shanshan was both pleasantly surprised and ashamed, neither sitting nor standing. King Wusun said with a smile: "Although there is no Jijiaye, the lion will still die at the hands of heroes. Which country are you a soldier of, so brave?" Lu Jifeng said: "Wei State." "Wei State?" Some of the kings of the Nine Kingdoms didn't know where they were, and some of them knew the situation in the Central Plains. They all showed surprise expressions, wondering why people from Wei State came here to relieve their distress. Wusun Wang said: "The life of a lion is endless. Even if its head is severed, it may still be reborn. It is better to smash his head." Lu Jifeng said: "It doesn't have to be like this." He sealed the broken blood of Tan Wuchen's head with his palm energy, and also sealed his seven orifices by the way. Even if he has cultivated Yuanling and can escape from the body, it is impossible to escape when all the orifices are sealed. . Looking at Tan Wuzhen's calm face, everyone felt inconceivable. This head almost killed nine kingdoms, and it was also the nightmare of the kings of all countries, but it ended in such a short time. King Wusun looked at King Shanshan, and said coldly, "King Shanshan, even with Tan Wuzheng as his backing, is not reliable." The kings of the other seven countries also glared at King Shanshan. King Shanshan was a little at a loss and said, "This... the lonely king was coerced by Tan Wuzhen, it was a last resort..." King Wusun said: "It's a last resort? You murdered the Eight Kingdoms, no matter how serious your last resort is, you can't be kind!" King Qiuci also said: "That's right, the Eight Kingdoms will besiege Shanshan, you should do it yourself!" King Shanshan was so anxious that he didn't know what to say, but Lu Jifeng opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, please listen to me!" The translators spread the words of Lu Jifeng, and the kings of the Nine Kingdoms all calmed down and looked at Lu Jifeng. Lu Jifeng said: "The king of Shanshan was forced by Tanwu prophecy, and it was out of necessity. Shanshan has recently undergone great changes, and most of the soldiers and civilians in the city have died. It is already unbearable to be subjected to arms. The eight countries should not take this opportunity to carve up it. The nine countries are in the Western Regions. Live and work in peace, why bother to take revenge?" King Qiuci dissatisfied and said: "The king of Shanshan is ungrateful and treacherous, so he should be punished by heaven!" Lu Jifeng said: "If Tan Wuzhen's evil plan succeeds, will you all be able to retreat? If this starts the war in the Western Regions, I don't want it! Why don't you let Tan Wuzhen be reborn, with his existence, you have no choice but to unite !" As soon as they heard that Tan Wuzhen was about to be brought back to life, the kings of the Nine Kingdoms were terrified, and hurriedly said: "No way!" "Negotiate again, discuss again!" Lu Jifeng said: "Tan Wuzhen was killed by me, and I don't want to see war again. Since the nine countries have lived in peace for so many years, they should be able to maintain peace in the future." King Wusun said: "But...in fact, the Western Regions are not peaceful." Lu Jifeng said: "Why?" King Wusun said: "There are Rouran and Beiliang in the east, and they invade the west from time to time. We worry that Shanshan will be plundered by Rouran or Beiliang sooner or later. At that time, the barrier will disappear, and the eight countries will be exposed to the cavalry. The danger of subjugation!" Princess Xihai has come to protect Tuobaxue, upon hearing this, she said with a smile: "Rouran and Beiliang, what is really afraid of is not your Nine Kingdoms, but Wei Kingdom." King Wusun said: "But Wei is strong, Rouran or Beiliang will never invade Wei, they will only go west. No matter how strong Wei is, it has nothing to do with the Nine Kingdoms." Princess Xihai said: "Banchao's access to the Western Regions made you worship China, and was protected by China from the Huns' invasion. Now the Wei State is stronger than the Han Dynasty, but Rouran and Beiliang are not as good as the Huns! You ask the Wei State Paying tribute and losing sincerity is a wise decision!" The words of Princess Xihai moved the hearts of the kings of the nine countries. All the cars drove back to the palace. After several rounds of discussions, the kings of the nine countries finally decided to send a large number of envoys and tributes to pay homage to the Kingdom of Wei with Princess Xihai and others. When Lu Jifeng came, there were only three of them, but when he returned to China, he was full of horses and chariots, and his majesty was unparalleled in the world.Back then, Su Qin wore the seals of the six kingdoms on his body, how could he compare to the majestic team and scale of the Western Regions?The area occupied by Shanshan, Wusun, Kepantuo, Yueban, Qiuci, Shule, Yanqi, Cheshi, and Lichi is several times that of Wei State, and their wealth and wealth are also comparable to those of the Central Plains. At the same time, they sent the most magnificent team and rich tributes, and the nine countries competed for power. The scene was unimaginably vast. The chariots and horses stretched for dozens of miles. Looking up, I saw the flags of various countries fluttering, almost covering the sky. There are only a few records in the history of this incomparably grand event that illuminates the martial arts of the Han Dynasty. It's not that Tuobatao doesn't love achievements, he is born with a great joy of achievements, and whenever he wins, he will publicize it. However, he didn't write a big book about the historical facts of the nine kingdoms' pilgrimage. It seems to be deliberately trying to hide something.The truth behind this is intriguing. The only ones who knew the truth were Lu Jifeng, Princess Xihai, Tuobaxue, Cui Hao and others. Lu Jifeng and his group returned to Pingcheng in a mighty way. With such a huge team, they would naturally not be subjected to any storms and dangers along the way. situation. They haven't entered the customs yet, the news has spread to Pingcheng, and a post has been set up in Pingcheng, waiting to welcome the envoys from the nine kingdoms.This is a great event of Tuoba Tao's hegemony, and the whole country is shocked by it, and Tuoba Tao has already known that this is the work of Lu Jifeng, and he is very happy.With this unrivaled contribution, who among the ministers would doubt his reason for reusing Lu Jifeng?What he has built is a great work that cannot be rewarded. The troops of the Wei State welcomed the tribute team from the Nine Kingdoms in full formation, and went straight to Pingcheng. They were placed in the guest house first, and after being taught etiquette by You Si, they chose a day to formally pay homage to Tuoba Tao. Lu Jifeng didn't even have time to go back to the commander's mansion, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he was welcomed into the harem study and met with Tuoba Tao. When Tuoba Tao saw Lu Jifeng, he was overjoyed, and before Lu Jifeng knelt down, he went down the steps and grabbed Lu Jifeng's arms, holding them tightly, and said: "Okay, very good, very good! Lu Qing you……" Seeing that Tuoba Tao was so ecstatic for his safe return, Lu Jifeng smiled slightly and said: "The guilty minister has come and returned, please long live the punishment." Tuoba Tao smiled and said: "You let me spread the prestige in the Western Regions, with the help of the Nine Kingdoms, the Hexi area will be leveled! The southeast region will be pacified, and the unification of China will not be far away! Hahaha..." Lu Jifeng smiled and said nothing, Tuoba Tao left Lu Jifeng in the palace and asked him many things.The two had a long talk, chatting slowly and carefully, and it took a whole day to explain all the process after Lu Jifeng left. Tuoba Tao seems to be dubious about some things, especially the part about Tan Wuzhen, Tuoba Tao doesn't believe so much, and said: "Tan Wuzhen has such powerful mana, can he be reborn?" Lu Jifeng said: "My minister put his head in the jade box, long live you want to watch?" Tuoba Tao nodded, and immediately ordered Zong Ai to lead the forbidden army to the leader's mansion to fetch the jade box, so that he could have a look at the head of Tan Wuzhi. Zong Ai fetched the jade box containing the head of Tan Wuzhen. After so many days of running around, the head was only placed on the brocade lining without special maintenance. It was still lifelike and showed no signs of corruption. After Ba Tao read it, he had to believe it. He closed the jade box, pondered for a moment, and said, "This is a trouble..." Lu Jifeng said: "Wanzai why did you say that?" Tuobatao said: "Last year when I marched to the north and raised our prestige to the northwest, Liang knew that it was no match for our heavenly prestige, so we sent envoys many times, begging for peace with humble words, and it was difficult for Liang to be pacified for a while. I intend to temporarily negotiate peace with him. If you die at your hand, I'm afraid there will be another dispute. This head will stay in the palace, and no one is allowed to speak out!" Tuoba Qi, Cui Hao, Zong Ai and others in the palace are all people he trusts very much, and he has to explain it specially, which shows his prudence. Tuoba Tao ordered Zong Ai to keep Tan Wuzhen's head away, and then said to Lu Jifeng: "Lu Qing, Beiliang has begged me many times to give him a princess for marriage. For the heart of Anliang, let Liang I think that I am sincerely married, so among the imperial daughters, I must choose someone who is equal to me in status, so that I can be worthy of Liang Guo's son Juqu Mujian." Lu Jifeng's heart skipped a beat, wondering what Tuoba Tao meant by saying this? Tuoba Tao said: "Unless all my sisters have been betrothed, there is no reason to ration Juqu Mujian's daughter to Juqu Mujian." Lu Jifeng was silent, so Tuoba Tao had no choice but to speak more clearly: "If you don't marry Princess Wuwei, she is the only one left to betrothed to Prince Liang's son." Everyone looked at Lu Jifeng, and Tuoba Tao held Lu Jifeng's hand and said: "Lu Qing, you and the princess have been through life and death, and her life is yours. She was robbed by bandits and her reputation has been damaged. I know you I am wronged, but I will not treat you badly, as long as you marry Princess Wuwei as the royal family, I will immediately make you king and give you the land!" Tuoba Qi also looked forward to Lu Jifeng eagerly. He didn't want Tuobaxue to marry the eldest son of the Liang Kingdom, because he knew too well that the royal family in Northern Liang was promiscuous, and Juqu Mujian was an extremely vulgar person. The concubines and sisters all had rumors of adultery. A weak and innocent girl like Tuobaxue would only have a broken fate if she entered the Beiliang court.As long as Tuobaxue marries Lu Jifeng, there will be no such problems, at least he can trust Lu Jifeng's character. Lu Jifeng still didn't speak, and Tuoba Tao was impatient. Seeing that he didn't respond, he turned anxious and said, "What? Do you think this kind of dowry is not enough?" Lu Jifeng hurriedly said: "My minister has no such intentions!" Tuoba Tao said happily: "Then you agreed?" Lu Jifeng was hesitant, but Cui Hao and the others hurried forward and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Long Live, and congratulations to Princess Wuwei for her lifetime support!" "I..." Lu Jifeng hurriedly wanted to say that he would not marry, but he couldn't open his mouth. When Tuoba Tao saw him, he thought he had agreed and was very happy, and said with a smile: "Hahaha... the worries I have had for many days have finally been resolved, Lu Qing, you are really my worry-relieving person!" But Lu Jifeng was more worried, the night was deep, Lu Jifeng and others resigned from the palace, and only then did they have the opportunity to return to the leader's mansion. Qian Lu was already waiting for him in the Commander's Mansion. After the last farewell, Lu Jifeng found Qian Lu after he resumed his official title.I thought that during the expedition with me, I committed a felony and would implicate Qianlu in Pingcheng, but fortunately Tuoba Tao did not copy his home. Seeing Lu Jifeng come back in a hurry, Qianlu was overjoyed, and attentively helped him take a bath and change clothes, just like in the past. After Lu Jifeng took a bath, Qianlu waited on him to dress and tie his hair. While she was combing Lu Jifeng's hair, tears dripped down her face. Lu Jifeng asked casually: "What's wrong? During my absence, have you been wronged?" Qian Lu quickly shook her head, wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "No, the servant girl saw the young master returned safely, so..." Lu Jifeng smiled and said, "Seeing that I came back safely, you were crying bitterly, so if I come back with a broken body, don't you want to applaud?" Qian Lu said angrily: "My lord, you clearly know that I didn't mean that!" Lu Jifeng smiled, and Qianlu said again: "My son has made great achievements in this trip to the Western Regions. The emperor relies on you even more. I have a merciless request..." Unexpectedly, Qianlu would ask for something from him, Lu Jifeng asked with a smile: "What wish do you have?" Qian Lu said: "Young Master's power is as solid as Mount Tai, if you move Miss's lonely grave and bury her here, is it not far better than being alone in the Hulao Arms Land?" Lu Jifeng said: "This is not an important matter..." Qianlu sighed softly, and didn't ask any more.But when Lu Jifeng saw it, he couldn't bear it, and said: "It's not that I'm heartless, but that I can't stay here for a long time, and I will leave eventually. I've already asked where I'm looking for, and I'll deal with some mundane matters later. I'm on my way." The stone room is in the north of Yan Kingdom, and there is likely to be Xuanpu, and there is Ruozi's Yuanling. He needs to find out the location immediately, or at least make the true identities of Wu Xuanji and the first emperor of Wei Kingdom clear. Qian Lu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Young Master, have you found Miss' Yuan Ling?" Lu Jifeng smiled wryly: "I'm not completely sure... In fact, it's hard to say whether I'm 50% sure." Qian Lu said: "Then where do you plan to go, Young Master?" Lu Jifeng said: "Yan Guo." Qian Lu was stunned, and said: "Yan Guo, how far is that! We have to go through the Song Dynasty in the south first." Lu Jifeng said: "So I plan to go to Jianxian Cliff first, take you and Brother Yun back to Jiankang, and tell Master Yun about Uncle Feng's current illness, and then leave for Yan Country." Qian Lu hurriedly asked: "You want to go to Yan Country alone?" Lu Jifeng nodded, Qianlu shook his head desperately, and said, "Master, it's too dangerous and lonely to go alone..." Lu Jifeng smiled and said: "Don't even think about following me anymore! I even went to the desert by myself, the south and the north, isn't it the same? If you die, you should die long ago!" "Don't say such ominous words!" Qianlu said. At this time, Shi Qian, the head of the army's palace, came to report, saying that Lu Jifeng was invited by the princess mansion, Lu Jifeng was startled, it was so late, what would Princess Xihai and Princess Wuwei want to see Lu Jifeng? Lu Jifeng was in a sinking mood, and told Chang Shi to convey to the emissary of the Princess Mansion that he would go to court tomorrow, and it was inconvenient to go there, so he sent the people from the Princess Mansion back. Lu Jifeng was quiet for a while, originally he was chatting and laughing with Qianlu, but now he was full of worries, not to mention Qianlu also understood that there must be something inhumane between him and the princess, but if Lu Jifeng didn't say anything, it would be inconvenient for her ask. After a while, Lu Jifeng waved his hand and said, "Qianlu, go and rest!" Qianlu looked at him hesitantly, and then slowly retreated. Lu Jifeng thought about it by himself, he didn't know how to deal with Tuoba Xue, he didn't know what to do, he agreed to Tuoba Tao today, he himself felt it shouldn't be like this, but was it okay if he didn't agree at that time? On the way back to Pingcheng, Lu Jifeng tried his best to be indifferent to Tuobaxue, even indifferent, and quarreled with Princess Xihai several times because of this.Lu Jifeng, who never liked to argue with others, couldn't help feeling impetuous when he mentioned the matter of Tuobaxue. He himself felt funny that he would quarrel with Princess Xihai all the way because of this.Maybe Princess Xihai is too provocative? Lu Jifeng let out a long sigh. If he and Tuoba Xue were just siblings like Tuoba Tao, it would be much better, and he could take good care of her, and there would be no such problems at all. In Hei Ling City, Ruo Zi, who was imagined by herself, once asked him: How to deal with Jia Luo's matter?When I think about my answer at that time, I feel chilling when I think about it now.I already know that I will disappoint Jialuo, and even prepare to be a person of unlucky luck, so can I let Tuobaxue suffer the same fate? The sacrifices and the price to be paid to accomplish one thing will be more and more complicated than originally thought.If he doesn't marry Tuoba Xue, even if he is regarded as unlucky, he is willing to bear it if he is regarded as betraying his affection.However, not marrying now is just pushing her into the fire pit of Beiliang. It is no longer up to Lu Jifeng himself to decide whether to marry or not. Lu Jifeng looked at the hair tie in his hand, he had been carrying it with him all the time, and he didn't understand why he would do such a thing.Maybe it's to remind myself: Don't be fooled by demons anymore.But he didn't have the courage to explore the deeper meaning. "Are you still going to lie to yourself?" The voice from behind startled Lu Jifeng. Lu Jifeng looked back, besides Princess Xihai, who else would there be?In the past, with Lu Jifeng's foundation, he would never be able to hide the approach of Princess Xihai from him, but now he is so confused that he didn't notice when Princess Xihai approached him. Princess Xihai did not invite Lu Jifeng, but actually came in person, which also made Lu Jifeng a little troubled. Lu Jifeng said: "I don't understand what you said." Princess Xihai said: "It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, what I said will not be taken back!" Lu Jifeng was silent, what she meant was what he said before: If Lu Jifeng let Tuoba Xue shed a tear again, she would not let him go. Lu Jifeng said: "You go back! It's so late, you are still staying at the courtier's house, if the emperor finds out and asks me to marry you, I'm afraid I will commit suicide first." Princess Xihai laughed and said, "It's not that easy to commit suicide on my hands! The fate of the unknown is just for reference." Lu Jifeng said: "There is still half an hour, which is almost enough." Princess Xihai blushed and said with a smile: "Have you seen it? Well, well, I'm afraid you must marry me. I'll report it to the emperor immediately!" After speaking, he jumped back, as if he was really going to the palace. Lu Jifeng was taken aback and said, "Hey! Stop, you are forcing me to treason!" Princess Xihai laughed loudly, and ran out. Lu Jifeng pretended to chase after a few steps, but stopped chasing, and smiled wryly at the disappearing figure.
